Depression - Teen Support Group

Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

Kill myself

What came across your mind when you read that? You, like most others, probably wanted to help which is why you opened this; wanted to give hope and even maybe save a life.

If you've been thinking of suicide, I wonder how you read this. Can you give hope when you have none for yourself? How can you save a life when you do not want to save your own? I read this a lot here on DS, and I have to say that once I did contemplate suicide, even if it was only obscure thoughts- after trying so hard to give hope to others, I realized how much I had inside myself. I realized by my own words how much life meant to me, how desperately I wanted to convey it to someone.

Don't ignore anyone who posts saying they are suicidal. Even if they've been in that dark place for what seems forever, do not ignore them. As long as they are posting and asking for help, there is hope. As long as they post, they are seeking change, and want to help themselves. We can help them. We can help all of them.
